I'm really proud of this project, the culmination of 12 yrs of research on our plant BBQ. Our plant flammability data are being used in this new @FireEmergencyNZ website to guide decisions about which species to plant around your property.

@JackDAshby They are such cool critters! Just got your book, finally! Can't wait to read it. PS maybe you can help with an anecdote I'm trying to track down of an early European explorer seeing a planigale attached to a large grasshopper/locust on the wing. Ring any bells?

@Bremenlady1 @clearticulation @EuanRitchie1 They have blood and move through the undergrowth, so are easily attached to by a tick, would be my guess. Might be as simple as that.
